Thanks for this Katherine Moore and double shout out for the many #2hatters who are taking on this role alongside another full time role with little mandate, or budget. I meet a lot of these 2hatters and their job is a very tough one as by the very nature of being a 2hatter it means the - on the whole - business is not committed to sustainability.

4moThis is such a timely and insightful post thank you Katherine Moore. I’m seeing how crucial it is to also collaborate and provide opportunities for different sectors to learn from each other. There are many inspiring models in education for instance where this role brings together pupils, teaching and operational teams to ensure this mission is embedded and threaded throughout the culture and the ripple effect engaging the community 👌🏼💚🌏
